Velus Jones: Cut by New Orleans
The Saints waived Jones on Tuesday.
Jones appeared in all five of the Saints' contests to begin the season, returning eight kickoffs for 183 yards while picking up three tackles (one solo) on special teams. He played two offensive snaps but didn't touch the ball on either.

Saints' Velus Jones: Heading to New Orleans
Jones signed a contract with the Saints on Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Jones played three regular-season games (two with the Bears, one with the Panthers) in 2024 and logged two carries for 11 yards and one catch for eight yards over that span. He's got an outside shot at consistent reps out of the Saints' backfield, but he could earn a spot on the 53-man roster for 2025 as a return specialist.

Panthers' Velus Jones: Inactive for Week 18
Jones (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
With the Panthers bringing back Miles Sanders (ankle) from injured reserve for the season finale, the team won't have a need to keep Jones active as a third option at running back. Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone are instead in line to serve as the backup options behind Sanders. After Carolina signed him off the Bears' practice squad on Dec. 10, Jones appeared in two games and carried once for zero yards while playing three snaps on offense.

Panthers' Velus Jones: Hits inactive list for Week 16
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
After Carolina signed him off Jacksonville's practice squad last week, Jones made his Panthers debut in a 30-14 loss to the Cowboys. Jones played all four of his snaps on special teams in the loss, and he'll now head to the inactive list with top return man Raheem Blackshear having been cleared to return from a one-game absence.

Panthers' Velus Jones: Poached by Carolina
The Panthers will sign Jones off Jacksonville's practice squad Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Jones, who was waived by Chicago in late October, now gets a spot on Carolina's 53-man roster. With Jonathon Brooks (knee) lost for the season and Raheem Blackshear (chest) at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jones could be needed to fill a depth role at running back for Carolina, despite having taken most of his snaps on offense as a receiver through his first three seasons in the league. The 2022 third-round pick will also be in the mix to step in as the Panthers' kickoff and punt returner if Blackshear is sidelined.

Velus Jones: Reverts to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones was elevated to the Jaguars' active roster ahead of Sunday's loss to the Lions for the first time since joining Jacksonville's practice squad in late October. However, the 2022 third-round pick didn't play a single snap, despite being active. He's appeared in one game with the Bears this season, catching his only target for eight yards and carrying the ball twice for 11 yards.

Jaguars' Velus Jones: Elevated by Jags for Week 11
The Jaguars elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Jones started the regular season on the Bears' active roster, but outside of Week 1, he was a healthy scratch before being waived Oct. 25. The 2022 third-round pick signed with Jacksonville's practice squad four days later, and he'll likely make his Jaguars debut against the Lions on Sunday.

Velus Jones: Headed to Duval
The Jaguars signed Jones to the practice squad Tuesday.
Jones was waived by the Bears on Friday after being a healthy scratch in each of Chicago's last six regular-season games. The 2022 third-round pick will look to take advantage of his new opportunity with the Jaguars, who need additional depth at wide receiver after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone during Sunday's loss to the Packers. With rookie wideout Brian Thomas (chest) considered day-to-day, Jones has a chance to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Velus Jones: Waived by Bears
Chicago waived Jones on Friday.
Jones played 16 snaps (four on offense, 12 on special teams) in Week 1 against the Titans, and he finished that contest with two carries for 11 yards and one catch for eight yards. He has been a healthy scratch across the Bears' last six games, however, and Chicago has opted to move on from the 2022 third-round pick. Assuming he clears waivers, Jones could stick around and sign with the Bears' practice squad or explore his options elsewhere.

Bears' Velus Jones: Remains healthy scratch
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.
Jones' streak of being inactive appeared to have a chance to end with DeAndre Carter dealing with a rib injury. However, with Carter suiting up, the Tennessee product will be sidelined once again.

Bears' Velus Jones: Not playing again
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Rams.
Jones has been a healthy scratch since suiting up Week 1 against the Titans. His next opportunity to play will be Week 5 against the Panthers.

Bears' Velus Jones: Healthy scratch again
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Colts.
Jones was a healthy scratch in Week 2 as well, after suiting up for a minimal role in Week 1. He'll now work to have the opportunity to be on the field in Week 4 against the Rams.

Bears' Velus Jones: Inactive Sunday
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday versus the Texans.
Jones will spend Week 2 on the sidelines after having three touches in the team's 24-17 win over the Titans in Week 1. He'll now have to wait for his next opportunity to hit the field.

Bears' Velus Jones: Three touches in victory
Jones rushed twice for 11 yards while catching an eight-yard pass in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
After an impressive preseason in which Jones was effective as a running back, he served in the committee with Khalil Herbert and Travis Homer behind starter D'Andre Swift. Although it appears that Jones may be in line to see snaps on offense, he may need to separate himself from the other backup running backs if he is going to have reliable fantasy value.

Bears' Velus Jones: Stars as lead running back
Jones rushed 13 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 11 yards in the Bears' 34-21 preseason win over the Chiefs on Thursday night.
Jones recorded a game-high yardage total on the ground with the help of a 39-yard scoring scamper, seeing his most extensive action as a running back yet this preseason. The converted wide receiver appears to have acclimated nearly seamlessly to the position change, but it's presently difficult to ascertain exactly how Jones may fit in a crowded running back room if he indeed makes the final roster. However, were one of Roschon Johnson or Khalil Herbert to be traded before the start of the regular season, Jones could make for an intriguing change-of-pace back alongside whichever of the two remains and lead back D'Andre Swift.

Bears' Velus Jones: Impresses as running back
Jones rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 33-6 preseason win over the Bills on Saturday.
On Aug. 6, coach Matt Eberflus vowed to experiment with Jones as a running back. Eberflus was true to his word, and Jones handled six carries with the reserves, including a 19-yard run and a short touchdown. The Bears invested a third-round pick on Jones in 2022, and aside from contributions on special teams, the team has gotten very little offensive production from him. It may be difficult for the third-year player to move into one of the top three spots on the depth chart, but this showing certainly didn't hurt Jones' chances of seeing more work as a running back.
